Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Security used to be so simple for the average business. You installed anti-virus (AV) solutions, trained employees not to click on unknown links, and kept software and websites up to date. For a few low-risk companies, that may still be the case, but the vast majority of small to midsize companies now need to fortify against new, advanced threats that can get around traditional AV. With the rise of more advanced threat vectors and the use of Work-from-Home technologies businesses are facing greater threats to data and workflow and need a different type of protection to mitigate that risk. The 2023 “Cost of a Data Breach Report” by IBM and the Ponemon Institute states that:
“Organizations with fewer than 500 employees reported that the average impact of a data breach increased (2022 to 2023) from USD 2.92 million to USD 3.31 million or 13.4%.”
Traditional AV isn’t sufficient protection for your business because AV requires regular database updates of the current virus signatures to be effective. The protection afforded by AV software is only as good as the vendor’s updates. New threats arise daily, and ensuring updates get pushed out on time is a best-effort scenario. Often, threats are discovered only after the damage is done.
Here are a few examples of some of the risks we’re seeing in the marketplace now:
- Nearly one-quarter of cyber attacks in 2023 involved ransomware.
- Weaponized documents that may seem like harmless PDF attachments in your emails but execute attacks once they enter your network. Fileless threats that don’t require downloads, but execute from memory, making them difficult to identify.
- Zero-day threats that find an unknown computer vulnerability and exploit it before software or hardware providers can issue updates.
- Ransomware attacks, which can disable IT networks and lock you out of your data/workflow
